Anyone an SC400 prodigy that wants to give advice to me?
Hey there guys, I have a few questions for whomever is reading this. First of all, I've looked in countless magazines and on websites and I'm asking, does anyone know the stats on a '97 SC400. Stats such as factory things like horsepower, weight, etc.
Also for the advice portion of my question, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on performance parts or lookwise that I can do to my car. The color is that silveryish yet kinda light blue color that the SC comes in. I have an intake and xenon bulbs already. I want to spring for a chip but can't find anyone who makes them or knows about them. Thanks for your help guys

Weight on all SC4's is 3600lbs ballpark, depending on options. '97-2k models weigh slightly more because of the lower body trim. For 1997 SC4 260hp@5300rpm, 270lbs.ft. @4500rpm. This is the engine that debuted in the 1995 LS and the 1996 SC4. Changes for '97, other than the engine, are new front fascia with upper and lower grille, new flush fog lamps, colour-keyed side skirts, new rear bumper and quarter skirts, new rear spoiler, and new taillamps. The design of the alloy wheels also changed. This is the last year a manual transmission was available, and three exterior colours were discontinued, Sandstone Beige Metallic, Royal Jade Pearl, and Midnight Indigo Pearl if I remember correctly. The three new exterior colours for that year were Shadow Rose Quartz, Classic Green Pearl, and Royal Sapphire, one of my most favourite colours. Base price for a '97 SC4 was $50,800 sticker plus a destination charge of around 500 bucks. That's $11,800 more than the sticker for an SC3 for that year. For an ECU, talk to Lance at Toyomoto 305-599-3050 or Leo at Weapon-R 650-877-8280 Leo is ext 2. Is that prodigy enough for ya?

since when did toyomoto start making an ecu (piggyback, installed standalone, modified stock ecu) for the sc400?
have yet to hear about oatse's update on the install of the wr ecu because of the different maf sensor on the 97...
with the different hp of the 96(?) or 97, is it done mechanically or electronically and if electronically, then wouldn't the ecu be slightly different than the other years?
